Summary
Securing externally available CAN wires can easily allow physical access to the CAN bus, allowing possible injection of specially formed CAN messages to control remote start functions of the vehicle. Testing completed on Tesla Model 3 vehicles with software version v11.1 (2023.20.9 ee6de92ddac5). This issue affects Model 3: With software versions from 2023.Xx before 2023.44.

Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- Specific protection requirements depend strongly on contextual factors including the level of acceptable risk associated with compromise to the product's protection mechanism. Designers could incorporate anti-tampering measures that protect against or detect when the product has been tampered with.
Mitigation
Phase: Testing
Description:
- The testing phase of the lifecycle should establish a method for determining whether the protection mechanism is sufficient to prevent unauthorized access.
Mitigation
Phase: Manufacturing
Description:
- Ensure that all protection mechanisms are fully activated at the time of manufacturing and distribution.
CAPEC-401: Physically Hacking Hardware
An adversary exploits a weakness in access control to gain access to currently installed hardware and precedes to implement changes or secretly replace a hardware component which undermines the system's integrity for the purpose of carrying out an attack.
